“Grandpa, why are you only coming now? I’ve been waiting here for so long, hmph!”

After Lu Yun and Elder Di walked in, the girl in purple snorted coldly.

Looking at the girl who was gritting her teeth and frowning at her cute, upturned nose, Elder Di smiled with affection on his old face and said, “Ah, I’m already old, 1 naturally can’t keep up with you energetic youngsters.”

“It’s just because you’re slow, why do you have to find so many excuses?” The purple-clad girl pouted playfully, her eyes falling on Lu Yun as if she had found something fun, and said with a bright smile:

“I’ve never seen this little brother before, where did you find him, grandpa?”

“I just met him outside, so 1 brought him in. Don’t underestimate him; he’s here for the Alchemist Assessment Certification too.”

Immediately, Elder Di turned to Lu Yun with a smile and said, “This is my granddaughter, Di Ruoling. She’s quite lively, but she means well.”

“Brother Lu Yun, how about calling me Sister Ruoling?” Di Ruoling playfully stuck her tongue out at Lu Yun and smiled mischievously.

Lu Yun just responded with a faint smile, bowing slightly, “I’m Lu Yun, nice to meet you, Miss Ruoling.”

“You’re so young, yet you act like a little grown-up. How boring.” Di Ruoling pursed her lips and quickly lost interest in teasing Lu Yun.

“All, let’s go, girl. You’d better perform well today. Don’t embarrass me; otherwise, 1 won’t be able to face old man Deng in the future.”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. It’s just a First Grade pill, it won’t stop me.” Di Ruoling held Elder Di’s arm, her delicate face brimming with confidence and laughter.

“Stay cautious, especially as an alchemist. Better to err on the safe side.” Elder Di patted the little head of Di Ruoling tenderly and gave Lu Yun a friendly smile.

“Brother Lu, let’s go together!”

“Elder Di, after you.”

And so, Elder Di led Lu Yun and Di Ruoling into the inner hall of the Alchemist Guild.

As they entered the first floor lounge, they were greeted by a faint medicinal fragrance that made them feel completely relaxed and refreshed.

There were around a dozen staff members in the hall, casually talking with each other as they handled their work.

Many people of various ages were holding letters of introduction, looking around with confusion, seemingly trying to figure out the Alchemist Assessment Certification procedure. However, no staff was present to help at the moment.

Looking at this scene, Lu Yun shook his head in disappointment.

This kind of negligence was all too familiar from his past life, and he didn’t expect he’d find the same phenomenon even in the Alchemist Guild.

“Ahem…”

Elder Di, leading Lu Yun and Di Ruoling, walked straight to a counter and let out a soft cough, sounding particularly sharp in the somewhat cold hall.

The chatting staff members looked up in surprise after seeing Elder Di in his black robes. They quickly straightened their bodies and busied themselves with the tasks at hand.

Soon, a young man in a grey robe hurriedly walked out from a backstage area and rushed to the counter.

“El… Elder Di…” The young man had beads of sweat on his brow, and his words were becoming a bit incoherent.

Obviously, he wasn’t attending to his job during working hours, and having Elder Di catch him in the act had completely flustered him.

Elder Di just waved his hand with a smile, saying, “Don’t be nervous. Just be more alert next time. First, help them fill out the Alchemist Assessment Certification forms.”

After realizing Elder Di wasn’t going to pursue the matter further, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

Then, he called out to the people in the hall: “Please forgive me for keeping you waiting so long. It’s my fault, and I apologize.”

Although the others didn’t seem too bothered by the delay, they didn’t show any dissatisfaction and walked over to form an orderly line.

Lu Yun and Di Ruoling were at the front of the queue. @@novelbin@@

The young man took out a golden booklet from a drawer under the counter and said to Lu Yun with a faint smile, “Hello, please tell me your name, age, and the name of the person who introduced you so I can register you. After the registration is complete, you’ll be taken for the Alchemist Assessment Certification, and then you’ll be awarded the Alchemist Badge.”

“Lu Yun, 13 years old, the person who introduced me is…” Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, looking at Elder Di, only to find he had disappeared.

“You don’t have someone to introduce you?” The young man’s pen paused in midair, and he looked at Lu Yun with a touch of annoyance.

“My grandpa, Di Qing, is his introducer!” At this moment, Di Ruoling stepped in from behind with a frown and coldly said.

“All, Miss Ruoling is also here.” The young man let out an awkward laugh, then continued to write down Di Qing’s name in the introducer section.

After finishing the registration, the young man said with a smile, “Please wait a moment. Someone will take you all for the assessment once registration is complete.”

Lu Yun nodded, walked aside, and made room for others.

After registering, Di Ruoling walked over and looked at Lu Yun with a smile, “Not bad. You’re only 13 years old, and you’re already here for the Alchemist Certification.. You must be just coming to give it a try, right?”
